I didn't say f it. If you haven't had covid you should strongly consider getting vaxxed. I HAD covid. So, dont' lump me into that group. I am not anti vax. And it's clear that the vaccine isn't really a vaccine. It's more of a pretreatment. Never was i told, oh here's your polio vax. You will still get polio but not as bad. Or here's your measles vax, you will still get measles but not as bad. So, seems to be more like a pretreatment to mitigate the effects of getting it.
Who said you are anti vax. I am saying that it's time you got on the right side of history. The vaccines are between 80-97 percent effective. No one ever said they were 100 percent effective. There is no vaccine that is 100 percent effeective. That goes for polio and measles.
Polio Vaccine Effectiveness and Duration of Protection
Vaccine Effectiveness
Two doses of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) are 90% effective or more against polio; three doses are 99% to 100% effective.
A person is considered to be fully vaccinated if he or she has received:
four doses of any combination of IPV and tOPV, or
a primary series of at least three doses of IPV or trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (tOPV)
AND
The last dose in either series should be given after 4 years of age and at least 6 months after the previous dose.
Duration of Protection
It is not known how long people who received IPV will be immune to poliovirus, but they are most likely protected for many years after a complete series of IPV.

CDC recommends that people get MMR vaccine to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. Children should get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Teens and adults should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination. Children may also get MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). This vaccine is only licensed for use in children who are 12 months through 12 years of age.
Who Should Get MMR Vaccine?
Children
CDC recommends all children get two doses of MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Children can receive the second dose earlier as long as it is at least 28 days after the first dose.
Learn about MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). This vaccine is only licensed for use in children who are 12 months through 12 years of age.
Students at post-high school educational institutions
Students at post-high school educational institutions who do not have presumptive evidence of immunity need two doses of MMR vaccine, separated by at least 28 days.
Adults
Adults who do not have presumptive evidence of immunity should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine.Certain adults may need 2 doses. Adults who are going to be in a setting that poses a high risk for measles or mumps transmission should make sure they have had two doses separated by at least 28 days. These adults include
students at post-high school education institutions
healthcare personnel
international travelers
www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/mmr/public/index.htmlSince 2000, when measles was declared eliminated from the U.S., the annual number of cases has ranged from a low of 37 in 2004 to a high of 1,282 in 2019. The majority of cases in the United States have been among people who are not vaccinated against measles. Measles cases occur as a result of importations by people who were infected while in other countries and from subsequent transmission that may occur from those importations. Measles is more likely to spread and cause outbreaks in communities where groups of people are unvaccinated.
www.cdc.gov/measles/hcp/index.html#immunityMeasles can be prevented with MMR vaccine. The vaccine protects against three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. CDC recommends children get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Teens and adults should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination.
The MMR vaccine is very safe and effective. Two doses of MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles; one dose is about 93% effective.
www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/measles/index.htmlNothing is 100 percent. People still get polio, measle and mumps fuzzems. We forget a lot of things that happened to us a children, but the government made us get shotes at school. And we had to get shots every year for the first few years. You did not just get one measles shot and it was over. So it's time to stop listening to right wing idiots and pay attention to experts who have spent years studying these kinds of dseases. If I have problems with my eye sight, I'll pay attention to Rand Paul. But Dr. Fauci helped find a solution for HIV/AIDS, therefore he has earned respect relative to knowledge of deadly viruses.
